Hamza Choudhury

Imagine a super-fast soccer player who can stop the other team from scoring! That's Hamza Choudhury. He plays a special job on the field called a defensive midfielder, which means he's like a shield for his team.

He also sometimes plays as a right-back, guarding the side of the field. Hamza was born in England and is a fantastic player for the Leicester City team. He's been playing soccer since he was a little kid!

Hamza started playing soccer when he was just seven years old, which is about the age you might start learning to ride a bike! He joined the Leicester City team's special school, called an academy, to get really good. He even went to another team for a little while to practice, like going on a fun field trip.

Now, he plays for the main Leicester City team and has played over 100 games! That's more games than you have fingers and toes, and then some!

Guess what? Hamza and his Leicester City team won a super important soccer prize called the FA Cup in 2021! Winning this trophy is like winning the biggest prize at the school fair. It means they were the best team in the whole competition. He also gets to wear the colors of Bangladesh when he plays for their national team. It’s like having two favorite teams to cheer for!

Hamza Choudhury is special because he can play soccer for two different countries! He played for England when he was younger, but now he also plays for the Bangladesh national team. This is possible because he has a special passport from Bangladesh. It’s like being able to represent both your school and your favorite club in a big competition. He’s a global soccer star!
